Baby chickens





Well, we've taken the next step in living in the country, and added ten baby chickens to the mix! What will happen next?? :) David and I sat outside today, did school and ate lunch while watching the chickens. Jon and David are building a chicken tractor tomorrow so they'll have a bigger place to play than the pen they are in now. I did some quick sketches, but they really don't stand still long enough to do much. They are pretty, though!



As I pulled out a sketchbook I haven't used in a few weeks I discovered this small painting of a pepper I did over Christmas while we family members all sat around the kitchen table and sketched or painted. Fun! I'd forgotten about this.

Great sketches! You did a good job capturing these moving subjects.

How wonderful that you have so many great subjects to sketch. I have heard that when you draw a subject that moves, it trains you to look better and pay more attention to all the subtle details.

I am a homeschooling Momma too! and a newbie to raising chicks.
